Hillary Clinton will leave
State. She'll further her 2016 presidential ambitions. She wants to succeed
Obama.

She hopes to become America's first woman president. If successful,
she'll likely exceed his worst policies. He did what supporters thought
impossible. He outdid George Bush. Imagine what's ahead in term two.

Kerry was chosen to further America's imperium. He supports global
wars. He'll differ from Clinton only in style and tone. Longstanding policies
won't change.

America seeks unchallenged global dominance. War is the bottom line
option when other methods fail.

In November 1984, Kerry became junior Massachusetts senator. He
succeeded Paul Tsongas. He stepped down for health reasons.

In 1992, his Democrat presidential nomination efforts failed. In
January 1997, he succumbed to pneumonia and liver failure complications
from cancer.

On January 2, 1985, Kerry took office. For 28 years, he supported
America's imperial agenda. In 2004, electoral fraud deprived him of defeating
George Bush. He was heavily favored to win. Electronic voting machine
manipulation prevented it.

Kerry's come a long way from November 6, 1971. He told Washington,
DC's WRC-TV that he "gave back, (he) can't remember, six, seven, eight,
nine medals."

It was his way of protesting America's Vietnam War involvement.
He was a member of Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW).

On April 22, 1971, he testified before the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee. In part, he said:

He came to discuss an investigation involving "over 150 honorably
discharged and many very highly decorated veterans."

They admitted committing Southeast Asian war crimes. Kerry explained.

They "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires
from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut
off limbs, bl(ew) up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages
(like) Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks,
and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to
the normal ravages of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging
which is done by the applied bombing power of this country."

He called Washington's claim about preserving Southeast Asian freedom
"the height of criminal hypocrisy."

"We saw firsthand how money from American taxes was used for a corrupt
dictatorial regime."

"We rationalized destroying villages....to save them. We saw America
lose her sense of morality as she accepted very cooly a My Lai." Many
other gruesome atrocities followed.

Others preceded it. It's standard policy in all US wars. Civilians
are as fair game as combatants. They suffer most. Women and children aren't
excluded.

"We learned the meaning of free fire zones, shooting anything that
moves, and we watched while America placed a cheapness on the lives of
orientals," said Kerry.

"We have come here....because we believe this body can be responsive
to the will of the people (saying) we should be out of Vietnam now...."

That was then. This is now. In the 1980s, Kerry became a committed
Cold Warrior. Until it dissolved in February 2011, he was prominent as
a Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) member.

It's agenda was far to the right of center. Ralph Nader called it
"corporatist (and) soulless." It was ideologically hardline.

Policies were anti-populist, anti-labor, anti-welfare, pro-business,
and pro-imperial in pursuit of unchallenged US global dominance.

Kerry was fully on board. He remains true to its ideological principles.
He's the Senate's richest member. His estimated net worth approaches $300
million. Including his wife's wealth, some believe it exceeds $1 billion.
She's heir to the Heinz fortune.

She broke Skull and Bones code of silence. Her "Secrets of the Tomb:
Skull and Bones, the Ivy League, and the Hidden Paths of Power" discussed
it. Members no longer talk to her. That means "I'm out," she says.

It's much more than a club. It exists only for itself and its enormous
influence. Fifteen members are chosen annually. It may be America's most
elite network. Inductees are considered potential future business, government,
legal, and other type prominent leaders.

"Skull and Bones has curled its tentacles into every reach of American
society," said Robbins. Its alumni reflect enormous power. It's increasing.
Former members infest virtually "every major research, policy, financial,
media, and government institution in the country."

They run America. They've done it for years. Dominant Skull and
Bones alumni families control it. They include Bush, Bundy, Harriman,
Lord, Phelps, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Ford, Taft, and Whitney, among others.
Inter-marriage is encouraged.

One observer calls it "an international mafia - unregulated and
all but unknown." Its agenda reflects New World Order dominance. It wants
personal freedoms compromised. Ceremonial silence is sworn.

Bonesmen automatically advance to positions of power. They're expected
to serve prominently. Former members financed Hitler. Current ones are
neo-Nazi.

Many Bonesmen have close Wall Street ties. At least a dozen are
linked to the Fed. They control America's media, prominent legal institutions,
the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Trilateral Commission.

Robbins calls the organization "not just the story of a remarkable
secret society, but a remarkable society of secrets, some with basis in
truth, some nothing but fog."

Nothing mythical reflects its alumni's influence. They run America.
They seek global dominance. Kerry role at State will be to further that
agenda. Expect him to go all out to do it.
